AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2013 Mercedes-Benz has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 9,202 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of dangerous defects, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 9,202 miles by July 2016, then 9,954 miles by March 2017, which is highly suspicious for a 2013 vehicle and indicates potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2025): Windscreen in such a condition that visibility through swept area is seriously a
  • DANGEROUS windscreen defect recorded on 2025-05-07 (test 119,875 mi) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring major failures on windscreen (2019-03-08, 2020-03-21, 2025-05-07) and tyres (2019-03-08, 2023-04-01, 2025-07-01) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Consistent pattern of brake disc wear (2019-03-08, 2023-04-01, 2025-05-07) and hose issues (2019-03-08, 2023-04-01, 2025-05-07) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • No failures recorded for the 2017-03-21 and 2018-03-21 MOT tests, indicating a brief period of better maintenance.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-07-09, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a strong safety foundation for the model, despite the vehicle's history.
